Hi,

Great idea to increase the RiskFactor that way. Think I will make some code for this for Phoenix 5.

You can run Phoenix on the same pair more than one time if you change the MagicNumer (MAGICMA) in the code.

The settings for the EURCHF needs to be improved.


Quoting nvwine
Hendrick,

Can we run Phoenix on the same pair more than one time in the same demo account by changing the value of MAGICMA and creating a newly named EA for each identical pair's chart? For example running Phoenix on 3 different EURUSD charts in the same demo. The reason being to compare settings real time on a forward test.

I have noticed almost no EURCHF trades. Is this do to a lack of daily range?

Looking at all the posted results inspired me to hurry my results out. All tests run 24 hours a day for the trading week on 15min charts with MM = true and Preferred settings = true.

On my live account the equity is about the same as Friday night. Averaging over 100 pips a day is great though. The test has been running on an IBFX mini account trading smaller than micro lots for 2 days. The results are in the attached PDF file. All settings were updated yesterday and are as shown at the bottom of the pdf file. I am using money management but each day that continues to show promise I'm raising the risk three tenths of a percent. This is the reason the lot size 'is and hopefully will' be increasing faster than the account balance would dictate.

The alpari demo ran the first day with only the Japanese pairs. I added some pairs to it. I updated to the new EA that was posted yesterday.

The MetaQuotes demo is lagging. It is running on all pairs available from MQ that Phoenix has settings for. I did not update this EA's settings consistently. I hope that is why it is not displaying results that are as stellar as other tests. I updated to the new EA that was posted yesterday.

Several of the markets were stuck in a range becuase of the holiday and according to the positions I have open, I may start out in the negative. I'm not sure how a rangebound market affects P4....we'll see. GBPJPY two winners in a row because of movement though...

Hi Hendrick,

As requested here are some statements from the 3 brokers that I'm running this on. These are ALL demo accounts.

So far all profitable trades except for USDCAD for which if I'm not mistaken then there are no settings.

If it only were real money ... oh well, when I get more confidence I'll plunk down some real money on this. Then the results WILL be worth watching.

Hi Tom,

What I need for the contest is that the USDJPY has to go down! It's only a few pips away from my stoploss. Oh well, we have still a long way to go!

Hey Palmer,

How's P4 doing so far! We need some movement on the market! If I'm not mistaking then Phoenix performs at its best when the market gets really volatile. I just checked the Contest. Dropped from the second to sixth place!! We have still a long way to go.

Regarding the back-testing file that Hendrick provided on the first page.

Did anyone try to do it?

I have problems with the conversion of the 1 min data to other time frames. I did everything as Hendrick described and checked it twice. The very last step does not seem to work. I opened the period_converter and did everything that I should. After the waiting period of 30 sec, I did the next one and hit OK every time. The window disappears as Hendrick said, and so on, but...

When I restart and cancelled the account requests, it comes back to the black offline window, but the time boxes on top are not available to go to other time frames.

If I go to the history files, the other time frames are empty.

Do anybody know what I did wrong?

Hello Benna.

I think you did everything ok. The thing you need to do now is to open your 'Strategy Tester' (Go: "View"; "Strategy tester" or press CTRL -R).

In this screen you can backtest your EA. Make sure you select the right currency pair (the one you just converted) and select the correct timeframe (m15 for Phoenix).
Under "Expert properties" you change the settings you want to try. Make sure you select MM to false (gives a better 'objective' picture in my humble opinion) and 'PrefSettings' false. You will need to enter all other settings manually.
Once a test is done you should check the 'Report' tab to see if your 'Moddelling quality' is 90.00%.

Let me know how you get on!

Good luck,

Vince

I just got back from lunch and checked on P4...Saw there were three losses in a row, three more open. I'm wondering if the FOMC minutes has control of the EA right now....I'll post the details this evening...

Hi all,

here are my statements of yesterday + 2day. I've added an account which uses North Finance's server. Please note this one started much later.
Note 2: my internet connection has been VERY unstable 2day so I'm very curious how all of you did 2day?!

Cheers

The following REALY does my head in....
Been doing a lot of back testing lately and came across something weird...
When I back test in Metatrader (downloaded from metaquotes) I get different result then when I back test with Metatrader downloaded from FXDD.

1) I've checked the versions and they are both Version 4.00 Build 197 (12 Sept 2006).
2) I use a *.set file for the settings so they are the same.
3) Used the same *.hst file to load the most accurate history data.

Anyone else ever had the same problem??? If so any idea what to do about it?
This does sort of defeats the use of back testing otherwise...

I've included 2 reports so you can see for yourself...

Thanks!

Could the servers these two different versions are connecting to be different? If so have you checked the server time zone settings?

not sure if this is the case but its worth checking.

Good luck,
Ah.

Statement as of 10/10/06 with standard MT4 broker (MIG). 5 targets hit, 2 stops hit. USD/JPY is very close to stop loss - What are people's views on this pair? Also seems to have opened a buy on EUR/USD - was this a good idea?

It is a good thing there is a lot of the trading contest still to go. It looks like we will lose the USDJPY. Sorry Hendrick. For the rest of us loosing on some pairs can be expected it is the overall gain that is important.

I got a EURCHF trade and it looks profitable. My new concern is GBPCHF. I have had 2 trades in 3 days. One stopped out for a loss the other is 40 pips down as of this writing. I'll have to watch that pair over the next ten days.

After 3 days the equity in my live IBFX mini account still reflects a hundred pip per day average. This is very good. I posted info about these accounts last night in post #76.

Oh, yeah I initially had a TS in set at 20 so that's why that 2nd trade looks a little 'thin'. There are five positions open right now with a floating PL of about $63 in the negative....mini's.
